That is not a gramophone.

video is broken

This motherfucker (complimentary)

That is SO GOOD!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Some kids and a grown-up getting LEGO with it.

Yay! I got people!

For those of you who aren't tuned in, this a call for genocide against disabled people.

Two tables with bagged LEGO pieces and instructions. There is a clock on the wall showing that it's time to start! But no people.

I'm ready, let's LEGO!

I think it depends on the airport -- my last trip outbound from Albany was very chill but coming back from Chicago was very not.

I don't *think* I lost any pieces, but as I went along it seemed like I was short a couple of times and then at the end I had a whole bunch of different stuff left over 🙃 ... but mostly it was a LOT of work to pry them all apart and next time I will just buy another huge kit and start from scratch.👍

If you ever get the idea to take apart a large (1,969-piece) LEGO model of (for example) the Apollo 11 rocket and bag it all up again according to the direction booklet so that you can run a program where kids can reassemble it (because they missed out the first time you did it) ...

DO NOT.

😭

oof

Joe Russo can kiss my ass. I am NEVER watching that movie again. Or this one.

ilu baby

I appreciate that they're not web-enabled or whatever, but I would love for a company JUST ONCE to think "I wonder if there's a potential that an abuser could use this " before doing literally anything.

I find a lot of help like that on reddit, even if it's just a link to the wiki I hadn't known about 🤣

(pro tip: use the search before posting, you are probably not the first person with that question (maybe you knew that already but 🤷))

reddit might be better? (she said, pre-emptively wincing because reddit)

Not that I buy a lot of jarred pasta sauce these days but that's a big NOPE for Prego. Jesus wept.

this is PEAK marketing, making us order stuff just to get the freebies! 🤣

love that bit at the end of the para ... "see BREASTS p. 18" 🤣👍mate I thought the whole point was NOT to see them?

our annual booksale was my favorite thing! and then the Friends figured out that it would be less work and more money to just open a used bookstore. which makes them (us) a TON of money and it's great! but you don't get that ~feeling~

me, reaching absentmindedly back into the bowl for another stale frito: ... godammit

As a librarian, we love excited shouting!

@risingpun.bsky.social , leaning over my shoulder to see what I am crunching: ooh, what is this, can I steal one?

me, discouragingly: it's a stale frito

him, crunching: oh, that IS a stale frito!

me, next time: "dead dove. do not eat" (this will not work either)

WOW that's pretty

When people are talking about their joys, that may be an act of trying not to drown in despair.

So perhaps think twice before bursting into their internet space to tell them why you hate something they love.

No one owes you a debate or discussion.

And you might just be tearing someone down.

This is amazing 👍

Their tail is where they do math.

aww, no, I'm so sorry.
